| Our youngest son married his long time sweetheart! |
 |
| We welcomed our fourth great-grandchild, Brantlee. |
 |
| And my granddaughter's little family left Alaska for her husband's home state of Minnesota. We will sure miss them! |
On the quilting front I guess I got more accomplished than I thought. I kind of fell into a slump in the Fall of the year.
I did get four baby quilts completed.
Two entries for our local fair.
Two items for our guild's silent Auction at the fair.
Two projects completed for my sister. I repaired her childhood doll our Mother made her. You can read more about that HERE.
And she asked if I could make her an apron to wear while house cleaning. Something with plenty of pockets to hold cleaning items supplies. She sent me a drawing with measurements and I took it from there. I ended up making it out of denim fabric.

I did finish my Diamond Tile top, this was an informal sew along with Bonnie Hunter, you can read more about it HERE and HERE
I also finally made a decision on my Tumbler top. I had added a four tumbler deep border around the top, but was unhappy with it. I decided to trim it down to a two tumbler deep border. I am very happy with it and it is now layered and basted and ready to quilt.
I also completed two Funky Flannel quilts. These are my DH's favorite quilts!
 |
| Funky Flannel Quilt #1 for our bed. |
 |
| Funky Flannel Quilt #2 for our truck. |
And I did make a little progress on hand quilting my Cranberry Album quilt, I am pretty slow, but making steady progress once I picked back up this winter.
 |
| It is really hard to get a photo showing the texture of the quilting. |
Like everyone I am thinking about this new year and what it will hold. I am seriously thinking about my quilting plans. I need to take an honest look at my projects that are in the works and new ones I would like to work on.
I am wishing all my fellow bloggers a happy and blessed New Year!!
